WARNING
Properly installed, operated and maintained this
appliance will not emit fumes into the room but
occasional fumes from de-ashing and refuelling
may occur.
Persistent fume emission is potentially
dangerous and must not be tolerated.
If fume emission persists:
• Open doors and windows to ventilate the room.
• Leave the room.
• Allow fire to burn out or safely dispose of fuel
from the appliance.
• Check for chimney blockage and clean if
required.
• Do not attempt to relight until the cause of the
emission has been identified and corrected.
• If necessary seek expert advice.
• All open flued appliances can be affected by
temporary atmospheric conditions which may
allow fumes to enter the house. Because of
this an electronic carbon monoxide detector
conforming to the latest edition of BSEN50292
must be fitted in the same room as the
appliance. The existence of an alarm must not
be considered a substitute for ensuring regular
servicing and maintenance of the appliance

6.5 After refuelling:
Burn the new logs at a high temperature for a few
minutes before closing the Primary Air control. Adjust
the burn rate using the Airwash control.
Do not close the air controls until the re is burning
well.
6.6 Experience establishes settings to suit personal preferences.
6.7 Do not burn large amounts of fuel with the Airwash/
Secondary air control closed for long periods of time. This
reduces the glass cleaning effect, causes tars and creosotes

excessive amounts of smoke.
6.8 When in use, running the appliance at a high temperature
for a short period also reduces tars and creosote.
6.9 When running the appliance refuel little and often for
clean, efcient burning.
6.10 Wood burns best on a bed of ash (approx. 25mm (1") deep).
A bright and clean rebox indicates the appliance is
burning well.
6.11 Do not burn continuously with the door open.
5.7 Once the fire has established refuel as described in
Section 6.
5.8 Close the door and follow the instructions for Running the
Appliance.
Do not run with the door slightly open except for initial
lighting as this could cause over-firing and damage the
appliance.
If fitted with an external air kit do not run at anytime
with the door open.
WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE THE APPLIANCE WITH
THE PRIMARY AIR CONTROL OPEN FOR LONG
PERIODS OF TIME AS THIS COULD CAUSE OVER-
FIRING AND MAY CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE.

glasscleanbutwillreduceefciency.
6.17 Experience establishes settings to suit personal preference.
6.18 Do not burn large amounts of fuel with the Primary Air
Control on a low combustion setting for long periods of time.
This reduces the glass cleaning effect of the Airwash and
causes tars and creosotes to build-up in the appliance and
uesystem.
6.19 When in use, burning the appliance at a high temperature for
a short period reduces tars and creosotes.
WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE THE APPLIANCE WITH
THE PRIMARY AIR CONTROL FULLY OPEN FOR LONG
PERIODS OF TIME AS THIS COULD CAUSE OVER-
FIRING AND MAY CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE.
6.20 Only anthracite or smokeless fuels suitable for use in
closed appliances must be burned in this appliance.
6.21 Do not burn bituminous coal, ‘petro-coke’ or other
petroleum based fuels as this invalidates the product
guarantee.
Shut Down
6.22 If there is still burning fuel in the firebox, Stovax do not
recommend shutting down the air controls completely
unless there is a chimney fire in progress (see Section 11
for advice). Closing the controls during the burning process
will cause poor combustion and could lead to a build up of
gasses that could ignite dangerously.
6.23 Always have enough air entering the stove to maintain some
flame within the firebox.
6.24 If it is necessary to shut down the appliance then run on a
high setting until all of the fuel has been burnt before closing
the air controls.

Care & Maintenance
13. Cleaning Glass
13.1 Keep the glass clean with correct use of the Airwash system
and good quality fuel.
13.2 Sometimes additional cleaning may be required.
Before undertaking this operation allow appliance to cool
fully. Do not clean hot glass.
13.3 On appliances with printed glass do not use cleaning
agents that have a high alkaline or acidic content, for
example Stovax Gel Cleaner, these are aggressive
cleaning agents designed to be used with heavily
stained clear glass. On printed glass surfaces, use
Stovax Glass Cleaner (Stovax No.4103) which is better
formulated for this application.
13.4 Before applying a cleaning agent remove any dust and loose
soot with a damp cloth.
13.5 Use an appropriate glass cleaner. Apply the cleaning fluid to
a cloth before rubbing onto the glass.
Apply carefully and do not apply excessively. Try to prevent
any run off which could soak into the rope seals around the
edge of the glass.
Soot can also contain acidic particles that can cause
corrosive damage to printed glass.
13.6 Remove dirt with a moist cloth and buff dry.
13.7 Some types of wood can cause a white residue to form
on the glass.
If this occurs it should be cleaned off at least once a
week during periods of heavy usage.
If the liquid cleaning agents recommended do not
remove this residue Stovax offer a dry cleaning pad
which will help remove heavy stains.
13.8 Before relighting the appliance ensure the glass is fully dried.
If the rope seal has absorbed excess cleaning agent it
is advisable to replace the rope as soon as possible to
preserve the printed finish of the glass.
14. Chimney Sweeping
14.1 To maintain safe and efficient use of the appliance, the
chimney/flue must be inspected and swept at least once a
year by a qualified chimney sweep*.
If the appliance is used continuously throughout the year,
or it is used to burn wood, more frequent sweeping is
recommended.
The best time to have the chimney swept is at the start of
the heating season.
14.2 The chimney, any connecting flue pipe and the appliance
flue ways, if incorporated, must be regularly cleaned.
14.3 Ensure adequate access for cleaning where it is not
possible to sweep through the chimney.
14.4 If the chimney is believed to have previously served an open
fire it must be swept a second time within a month of regular
use after installation.
